Visit the next photonics forum entitled “Winning Europe’s future – Europe’s age of light”, that will be held on 8th and 9th March 2018 in the Museum of Fine Arts/Musées Royaux des Beaux Arts and the Bluepoint Conference Centre in Brussels.

This new version of OptoDesigner focuses on adding more automation to the design layout process while providing the foundation for the eventual synthesis, placement and routing of full photonic circuits.

Pupils peek upon their neighbours

With the beginning of wintertime, last weekend of October, the GLOBE National Photometry will start. This winter, pupils from secondary schools will map the sustainability of the lighting in our homes with a self-build spectrometer. Even if the curtains are closed, the spectrometer can determine if light bulbs, low energy light bulbs or LED lamps are being used.

LioniX International (LXI) and Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute Berlin (HHI) will strengthen the collaboration of their Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) platforms by actively supporting the integration of both platforms together. Combining the functionalities of both platforms enables new applications varying from telecom, datacom to bio-photonics, sensing and metrology.
